The next possession began.
The Warriors were on offense.
Curry dribbled to the top of the key, then called for another Pick and Roll Screen from TJD to initiate the attack.

Green caught the ball cleanly in the corner, then elected to take the open three.
A moment later, the ball swished through the net.

Chen Xi immediately passed to Hartenstein as he rolled toward the basket.
Hartenstein caught the ball and charged into the paint, then drew the help defense before passing to Ethan in the corner.
Ethan caught it, made a Shot Fake, then swung the ball again.
Paul George received it up top with a wide-open look.

The Warriors went back on offense.
Curry initiated the attack from the perimeter.
